How to Design an App to Wow Users

iOS Developers Meetup is excited to offer a 4-hour workshop that teaches you how to design an app that engages your users.

This hands-on course is a perfect introduction to UX Design for anyone with app ideas. The instructor will walk UX design patterns of top apps in the App Store.
